Southlands

I arrive in Florida without incident, even manage to get upgraded to 1st class on the flight down.  My friends meet me at the airport and all is wonderful.  since this is Florida, on Tuesday, we go to the Everglades for an airboat tour.  We see about 5 alligators in the wild.  This is a real tourist place and has alligator wrestling.  It's kind of low-key and low-budget but interesting nonetheless.  I go to pick up the bike.  One of the arms of the trailer had gotten bent slightly and one of the nuts hiolding he seat had managed to fall out.  All is better now.  It was close to 90 today!  Whew.  We'll try for the early morning start.  Not much shade in this state!
